Paul, Silvanus, and Timothy to the church of the Thessalonians in God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. May grace and peace be to you.
2 Anyị na-ekele Chineke ekele mgbe niile, na-echetakwa unu nʼekpere anyị.
We always give thanks to God for all of you, as we mention you in our prayers.
3 Mgbe niile ka anyị na-echeta nʼekpere nye Chineke bụ Nna, ihe gbasara ọrụ unu nke sitere nʼokwukwe, ya na ịrụsị ọrụ ike unu nke sitere nʼịhụnanya, na iguzosi ike unu nke sitere nʼolileanya unu nwere nʼOnyenwe anyị Jisọs Kraịst.
We remember without ceasing before our God and Father your work of faith, labor of love, and steadfastness of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ.
4 Ụmụnna anyị, anyị maara na Chineke hụrụ unu nʼanya nke ukwuu, họpụta unu.
Brothers loved by God, we know he has chosen you,
5 Nʼihi na ọbụghị naanị nke okwu ọnụ ka oziọma anyị rutere unu, kama ọ bụkwa nʼike, na nʼime Mmụọ Nsọ nakwa mmetụta nke dị omimi. Unu maara ụdị ndụ anyị biri nʼetiti unu nʼihi unu.
because our gospel came to you not in word only, but also in power, in the Holy Spirit, and in much assurance. In the same way, you also know what kind of men we were among you for your sake.
6 Nke a mere unu ji bụrụ ndị na-eṅomi anyị na Onyenwe anyị. Nʼihi na unu jiri ọṅụ nke Mmụọ Nsọ na-enye nabata oziọma ahụ, nʼagbanyeghị ọtụtụ ahụhụ dị ukwuu nke o wetaara unu.
You became imitators of us and of the Lord, as you received the word in much hardship with joy from the Holy Spirit.
7 Nʼụzọ dị otu a, unu ghọrọ ihe ilere anya nye ndị niile kwere ekwe nọ na Masidonia na Akaịa.
As a result, you became an example to all in Macedonia and Achaia who believe.
8 Ugbu a, e sitela na ndụ unu mee ka oziọma Onyenwe anyị gbasaa gabiga Masidonia na Akaịa. Nʼihi na a na-anụ ihe banyere okwukwe unu nwere na Chineke nʼebe niile. Ya mere, ọ dịkwaghị mkpa ka anyị kwuo ihe banyere ya.
For from you the word of the Lord has rung out, and not only in Macedonia and Achaia—everywhere your faith in God has gone out. Therefore we do not need to say anything about it.
9 Nʼihi na ha onwe ha na-ebu ụzọ gwa anyị ihe banyere nnabata unu nabatara anyị, na otu unu si site nʼikpere arụsị tụgharịa, bido ife Chineke dị ndụ, onye bụkwa ezi Chineke,
For they themselves report what kind of coming we had among you. They tell how you turned to God from the idols to serve the living and true God.
10 na i chere Ọkpara ya onye ga-esi nʼeluigwe, onye o sitere na ndị nwụrụ anwụ kulite, Jisọs, onye na-anapụta anyị nʼiwe nke na-abịa.
They report that you are waiting for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead. This is Jesus, who frees us from the wrath to come.
